Some people consider Imbros the smaller, but untamed brother of Samaria gorge, equally impressive, without that much hard work to cross it! Journeying westwards along the islands coastal roads, passing Rethymnon, we turn to the south, through the mountains with their majestic and fantastic views, through small and forgotten villages, off the tourists trail (appr. 1 ½ hours). Just 7kms long (approx. 3 hours), you'll be rambling through orange groves and picturesque countryside. Especially in springtime the vast array of flowers and herbs, clinging to the sheer rock faces, winding ravines and dry riverbeds, is quite spectacular. Then we carry on, moving down the beautiful southern coast road, passing Frangokastello (appr. ½ hour) with its impressive Venetian fortress standing proudly on the volcanic black sandy beach, surrounded by bright blue waters. Our next and last stop is the sandy beaches of Plakias (appr.50 minutes). Time for you to do whatever you like at the beach. Wear walking shoes or trainers, no sandals, a sun hat, bring a bottle of water, maybe a snack and don't forget your camera.
